Build a Human Empire by Creating Clans

I sent the village chief back to Lagoa and chased after the goblin with my friends.

“Losing.”

The place the goblin guided was a living area.

Beyond the valley was a camp with a wooden fence.

The scale could not have been hidden if the valley had not been a natural screen.

It was recently built, as there were no signs of insect infestation or discoloration on the wooden fence.

As I walked along the barrier, I heard a busy sound coming from inside.

kang, kang-

And the smell of burning charcoal and the smoke rising to the sky and being blocked by conifers.

‘I got the ground completely.’

It was certain that it was not a temporary garrison.

“Stop. Who are you?”

As they approached the entrance to the sanchae, a topless orc blocked them.

【Lv. 20]

The knight of Count Doreen killed by Laeragon is level 21.

It was a level that belonged to the lower class by Germania standards.

This guard, who was only one level away from him, belonged to the lower ranks of the warriors.

Then, wouldn’t the difference in power between humans and orcs be insignificant?

no. The numbers are different.

Humans have weaker soldiers than knights.

However, there is no warrior weaker than an orc warrior.

All orcs become warriors of the level of this guard when they reach adulthood, so all but the orcs who have not reached adulthood are second only to human knights.

‘The population of an Orc tribe is small, a few hundred, and a large number of tens of thousands. In terms of human beings, there are just as many knights.’

In a barren small estate like Turan, the 21st level was one of the strongest.

Orcs were only a small tribe when there were hundreds of such strong people.

‘The gap between humans and other races is too high.’

It was the world beyond the mountains.

“merchant!”

“merchant?”

After hearing the goblin’s answer, the orc looked at me.

“Stupid little b*tch. This man is not a merchant.”

“merchant? no?”

The orc kicked the stupid questioning goblin and glared at me.

“Why did you come? human.”

“transaction.”

After thinking for a while, the orc soon sneered and opened the way.

It was a mockery of what was wrong with letting humans in.

“Go in.”

Inside the sanchae was busier than expected from the outside.

Wooden buildings crammed into the narrow space.

Between the buildings, all kinds of races were busily passing by.

“Move quickly!”

In addition to Orcs and Goblins, there were also monsters such as Lizardmen and Trolls.

However, the race that caught my attention was the humans passing through.

“Don’t rest!”

I looked carefully at the people carrying the luggage.

They wore rags and had stains and scabs all over their bodies.

His face was pale and pale, his eyes were sunken, and his wrists were bony.

The accumulated fatigue and hunger were clear, but I couldn’t rest and barely took my steps.

I knew they were human slaves.

‘Hunted or sold.’

There were no restraints on the arms or legs, but there was no sign of resistance.

Human eyes were like those of the dead, and their breath was feeble as if it would cease at any moment.

And they were all men.

It goes without saying why female slaves were not seen.

“…”

The man who noticed my gaze stopped and looked at me.

The empty eyes met me in the air.

It was a blurry, unfocused eye.

Damn—!

A whip flew in and tore his back.

“Ah!”

Blood splattered from his bent back.

“I told you not to rest!”

The orc holding the whip kicked the man in anger.

The man rolls on the floor and crashes into a building wall, stopping.

He gasped for breath and shuddered as he crouched down.

The orc raised his arms high as if he was getting more angry at the sight.

“stop!”

At my cry, the orc stopped in the same position as he was about to swing his whip.

“What is it, human?”

The orc turned to me with a grimly distorted face.

【Lv. 62]

Looking at the guy’s level, I lowered my voice and answered.

“It’s unsightly to do things in someone else’s house.”

“Someone else’s house?”

Ignoring his question, I continued.

“Call your father. Baguku.”

The orc called Baguku threw away his whip and approached me with a thump-thump-thump.

Calliope stepped between me and Baguku to block it.

“Who are you, human? How do you know me?”

I ignored that question too.

“I came to trade.”

“transaction? You are not the merchant I know.”

“Only one trader makes a deal.”

After passing Calliope, I took a step forward and stood in front of Baguku.

I looked down at him because I was a head taller than him.

“I am the owner of this land. And they represent humans.”

kill everyone

###

Baguku frowned as he looked up at the human man in front of him.

He looked down at him because he was uncharacteristically tall for a human subject.

He clenched his fists at the way the inferior race dared to look down on him.

Normally, I would have pulled my hair out.

I felt the pressure in the man’s eyes that made it difficult to say anything.

‘He’s a bad person.’

The feeling that your breath is suppressed, your heart beats fast, and your body stiffens.

Instinct warned Baguku that that human was dangerous.

The only being who made him feel this sensation was his father, Ugdash.

It was hard to believe that he had the same level as Ugdash in terms of human subjects.

But instinct was calling out, and Baguku did not ignore it.

“What does master mean? human.”

He let go of his fists, snorted, and stepped back.

As I spread the distance, the feeling of intimidation that had been pressing my whole body seemed to be slightly disturbed.

“Literally. It means this place is mine. I am Eddar, Lord of Olymus.”

Baguku’s eyes widened.

It was a name that was firmly entrenched in my brain.

“Are you… a monkey who deceived the representative system?”

How could I not know, I’m the only human who f*cked the representative system.

The elf prince was stripped of his title and Ugdash was driven beyond the mountains.

Baguku, the son of Ugdash, also suffered and had to hide like this.

“What deal are you here for?”

“That is none of your business. call your father Baguku from Ugdash.”

cringe…

Baguku clenched his teeth at Edar’s ignorance.

His throat trembled and he let out a boiling sound, showing an uncomfortable expression.

“Ughdash is not here. And this is my land If you have something to say, you should tell me.”

“You are entitled to do business with me?”

“Of course.”

Edar let out a laugh.

Baguku felt anger welling up in his chest again.

If it wasn’t for that intimidating feeling that you feel when you make eye contact… I would have killed him again and again.

“Then guide me. You won’t be an ignorant guy discussing a deal here.”

Baguku sniffed, snorted, and turned his back.

There was a separate space for human slave traders.

Considering his taste, the large room was filled with gold.

If you go inside, you will be blinded for a moment by the sunlight bathed in gold.

Baguku assumed that Edar, like the other merchants, would cover his face.

And he thought he would humble himself by revealing his greed for gold.

‘Humans are simple. I like everything that is big and shiny.’

Common to all human beings he met in his short life.

Would a human who cheated on the representative system be any different?

I looked at him with a sneer, expecting a surprised expression.

“…”

But Edar was calm.

Even when he saw the gold filling the room, his expression did not change.

On the contrary, Baguku was taken aback by such a reaction.

“Aren’t you surprised?”

“What do you mean?”

Edar asked back the question that had been inadvertently leaked.

Baguku flinched and hesitated for a moment before replying.

“You don’t like these shiny stones?”

This was one of the reasons Baguku considered humans to be an inferior race.

Because he doesn’t try to be strong on weak subjects and clings to worthless things.

If you have power, you can win anything, but I couldn’t understand why I was obsessed with that soft metal that had nothing to do with power.

“I don’t like it.”

On the other hand, that human was uncharacteristically uninspired by gold.

Merchants were different from stupid people pretending not to be interested in selling breeding slaves at a high price.

There was no hate in his eyes, but it was bland as if he were looking at a stone.

“But does it matter? The value of gold is determined by others, not by me.”

Edar picked up a necklace made by a craftsman and dropped it on the floor.

As he walked around the waiting room with light steps and looked at the treasures, he picked up a box smaller than the palm of his hand.

Inside the box made of gold, there were several tobacco leaves woven with tobacco leaves.

He took one of them out and put it in his mouth.

“This is fine.”

“that. That’s good. We live a lot in the representative system.”

“I see.”

Baguku called human slaves to light a fire at the beginning of the year.

The reddish tip of the tobacco was sucked deeply in line with Edar’s breath.

Afterwards, as the corners of his mouth rose along with the smoke he exhaled, Baguku reached out his hand.

He put whatever handicrafts he could get onto the table.

An incense burner embodying the afterlife, a cup engraved with an ascending dragon…

“You humans like it, so I made it.”

He poured out his hands full of gold coins by his side.

Edar picked up the gold coin with his tobacco in his mouth and flipped it back and forth.

A human head and a star pattern were stamped on both sides of the gold coin.

“Pinto, friend of Ugdash.”

Edar read the sentence above the head and laughed lightly.

“He asked.”

“You want to know my name and friendship?”

Baguku nodded.

“I can engrave your name on it if you want.”

“What about Pinto? Your friend will be disappointed.”

As he muttered the word friend, Baguku snorted.

How can humans be friends? That was my honest feeling.

The reason why he stuck the word friend into a gold coin was because he had been given that kind of slave.

Because a monkey named Pinto gave me joy beyond displeasure.

“okay. It is what you think.”

When Edar sneered, Baguku thumped the floor with the sole of his foot.

“You are different. The representative system was recognized.”

“What is the meaning of acknowledging the great majority?”

“All races are represented. The representative system represents all races. Humans are animals that are not recognized by the representative system. But you are a human recognized by the representative system. You can have the same honor as us.”

“Honorary Orc or Honorary Elf, that’s what you’re talking about.”

Yes, Baguku replied.

Then he took a leather pouch that was kept in the corner of the room and opened it.

I took out a bracelet with a harmonious purple and silver color from my pocket.

“Give me this.”

Edar received the bracelet.

His eyes were different from when he looked at the golden handiwork.

Noticing that the look in his eyes showed interest, Baguku smiled.

‘Even dwarves and dwarfs like this. You will be no different.’

While reading the text engraved on the bracelet, Edar raised his head.

“You’re giving this to me.”

“Yes. you. me. for a deal.”

“It’s not friendship.”

“Friendship doesn’t matter.”

Friendship, Edar whispered the words before asking.

“I must have given it to Pinto, who had a friendship with you.”

“I never gave.”

Baguku said rightly.

He whispered that it seemed to be a vague memory.

But Baguku didn’t bother to recall the memory.

It wasn’t like trying to fool Edar.

It was because I didn’t know why to think of friendship with a person who wasn’t the same.

Edar made eye contact with Baguku for a moment, then nodded.

“Right.”

“Take as much as you want.”

“You speak as if it were yours.”

“what are you talking about.”

Edar put the bracelet on his wrist and replied.

“I am not the owner of this place.”

Baguku let out a choking laugh.

“human. Stop talking nonsense. You were mine before you came to this earth.”

“Does the representative also think so?”

“…”

wince

Baguku’s movements stopped for an instant.

The silence fell to the point where you could hear the burning tobacco.

“The great system guaranteed that I am the owner of this land. You are ignoring it.”

“…I am the owner recognized by the Daejeon system.”

“That is old. Not anymore.”

bang!

Thick palms smacked the table.

The wooden table was split in half in that one shot.

Handicrafts and gold coins poured down on the table.

“you! You said you want to do business with me! Have a conversation that fits the deal!”

The murderous spirit of resentment filled the room.

Baguku’s eyes were bloodshot, and every muscle in his body twitched.

The slave who had been standing at a distance to wait on him fell down with a groan.

The slave knew that when anger boils like this, the blood will surely burst.

The slave lowered his head and glanced at the human who had angered Baguku.

Edar simply took a bite of tobacco, inhaled deeply, and then spit it out.

Baguku’s anger seemed to make no sense to him.

“I will give you an elf instead of a human.”

One of Baguku’s eyebrows twitched.

“Elf?”

“Aren’t elves your favorite? The reason I prefer humans is because they resemble elves. Why do we need humans if we can save elves?”

The distorted expression slowly relaxed as Edar continued to speak.

The anger subsided, and curiosity took root in the emotionless face.

“How to enslave elves. Aren’t you curious?”

“…”

“Isn’t the reason why you can’t look beyond the dwarves because of your maturity? I know of loopholes that can cross it. I will let you know if you accept this offer.”

In order for the elves to defend their territory, they called the fortress that stretched along the border the Great Wall.

The Great Wall was not simply an elongated wall, but a mystery itself wrapped in magic.

The only race that could penetrate it was the Dwarves who achieved the same level of civilization.

Although belonging to the representative system such as Orcs and Goblins, the lower-level races did not dare to approach them.

‘Elf… Elf slave.’

The elf’s appearance, said to have been created by God himself, flashed through his mind.

At that moment, an unstoppable lust arose and my body trembled with excitement.

To the orcs, the elves were that kind of being.

A being in a high place who wants to covet but can never covet.

Given a chance to take such an elf?

“This is the deal I offer. Are you willing to accept it?”

Baguku snorted and sighed heavily.

His expression changed from time to time, revealing that he was deeply troubled.

“···does not exist.”

Eddar inhaled the tobacco.

Neither surprised nor angry, he asked with a wink, why?

“The elves are strong. If caught, they will surely take revenge.”

“You are a coward.”

Edar’s ridicule made Baguku erase his laughter.

“I am smart. I don’t do anything stupid.”

Baguku believed his intuition was wisdom.

As the youngest of Ugdash’s children, he was the strongest because he followed his intuition, and his intuition was always right.
